Eriksson "proud" of his Philippines side which went down fighting to favourites South Korea. Photo: AFP/Giuseppe Cacace) Ranked a lowly 116th in the world, the Azkals (street dogs) bared their teeth against South Korea in Abu Dhabi this week, giving the favourites a real fright before eventually losing 1-0 - a far cry from the hammering many had predicted.
